My bad, I'll just post twice and edit the second post from now on. I didn't even consider how that could be seen as questionable.

[cougarfreak]

Well, since I picked in the Balt/Oak game, I'll have a shitty week.

[sabotai]

I broke my rule about not picking Giants games unless I had to. So I guess I deserved that...

[Radii]

Well, since I picked in the Balt/Oak game, I'll have a shitty week.

yep, 37 for me from that one.

[Julio Riddols]

Houston 24 (13) +11
Chicago 16 (6) +10

Indianapolis 28 (27) +1
Jacksonville 13 (10) +3

Buffalo 20 (31) +11
New England 38 (37) +1

Oakland 22 (20) +2
Baltimore 31 (55) +24

63 total. Not terrible considering the amount of scoring that went down this week.

[Simbo Klice]

Oakland 20 (20) -5
Baltimore 24 (55) +31

New York 13 (7) +6
Seattle 21 (28) +7

St. Louis 17 (24) +7
San Francisco 28 (24) +4

Houston 27 (13) +14
Chicago 20 (6) +14

26+13+11+28= 78. I'm giving myself too many 40 degree days, to quote Stringer Bell.

[kingfc22]

On most weeks I don't enter the scores into my spreadsheet until Tuesday or Wednesday so there is no way to know if somebody changed their predictions.

Do I think you are doing that, no.

[sabotai]

HOU 24
CHI 20

KC 17
PIT 27

OAK 20
BAL 23

NYG 28
CIN 20

HOU 13 (24) : 11 +
CHI 6 (20) : 14 = 25

OAK 20 (20) : -5 +
BAL 55 (23) : 32 = 27

NYG 13 (28) : 15 +
CIN 31 (20) : 11 + 10 = 35

87 points with the MNF game still to be played.

EDIT

KC 13 (17) : 4 +
PIT 16 (27) : 11 = 15

87 + 15 = 102

ouch.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Buffalo 17
New England 31

Atlanta 28
New Orleans 27

Dallas 26
Philadelphia 27

Houston 23
Chicago 17

20 + 15 + 26 + 21 = 82

[Vince, Pt. II]

Does everyone get +10 for the SF/StL game?

[britrock88]

53/63, pending MNF and the ramifications of the tie.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Does everyone get +10 for the SF/StL game?

Seconding this...curious how this impacts my score

[RendeR]

Raiders 16
Ravens 30

Oak 20 (4) + Bal 55 (25) == 29

Chargers 20
Buccanneers 27
SD 24 (4) + TB 34 (7) == 11

Chiefs 6
Steelers 34

KC 17 (11) + Pitt 27 (7) == 18

Texans 24
Bears 21
Hou 13 (11) + Chi 6 (15) == 26

29 + 11 + 18 + 26 == 84 for the week

This has never been an issue before so it's not in the rules.

I'm going to say it should be a +10 since a pick for the Niners or Rams were both wrong in this case.

[Suburban Rhythm]

New England 38
Buffalo 24

1 + 7 = 8

Denver 27
Carolina 13

9 + 1 = 10

San Francisco 26
St. Louis 13

2 + 11 + 10 = 23

Houston 24
Chicago 21

11 + 13 = 24

8 + 10 + 23 + 24 = 65

Why not make it a +5 since picking one or the other is technically only half wrong?

[britrock88]

Why not make it a +5 since picking one or the other is technically only half wrong?

I had the same thought, but I'm an interested party. Listen to Julio! :)

[cougarfreak]

With the +10, I'm at a 92 for the week.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Why not make it a +5 since picking one or the other is technically only half wrong?

Technically? My argument would be that you picked a team to win, and they didn't win.

I'm also technically an interested party, since the people ahead of me picked the game and I didn't :)

[Simbo Klice]

Wait just a minute. There's no point bonus for picking the right winner, only a penalty for picking the loser. Since nobody loses in a tie, no penalty should be assessed. (And of course I picked the damn game.)

[Masked]

Sabotai assessed a 10 point penalty for the 2008 tie between Philadelphia and Cincinnati. See the following threads:

I say we stick with precedence.

The penalty is for picking the incorrect winner. Since you picked XXX to win, you were wrong - they did not win.

[britrock88]

What would the penalty be for picking no winner, i.e., a tie?

[RendeR]

I'd say if you actually picked a game to end in a tie and it DOES you get a -100 point bonus.

[Julio Riddols]

Technically? My argument would be that you picked a team to win, and they didn't win.

I'm also technically an interested party, since the people ahead of me picked the game and I didn't :)

But they also didn't lose.

It's like betting on green in roulette.

If you are wrong, you are wrong.
